How to make a (great) slide deck

All of us have seen talks where the speaker uses slides. Some are great,
and some are awful. Come and learn how to make great slide decks and
how to avoid making awful ones. We will share a number of pieces of
software that are easy to use and that can help
you to improve your slide decks. We will also discuss best practices
and dissect several short slide decks together. Next week there will be a follow-up, hands-on workshop on using the software Inkscape to create mathematical
figures for talks, posters, and papers.
